Join our team as a

AI Customer Success Engineer!

This is a hybrid role, with an onsite presence required on a weekly basis.

Companies are investing heavily in AI — yet employees often use only a fraction of what those tools and solutions can do, and the friction remains. The capability exists. The problem exists. What's missing is the connection between them. Do you enjoy solving problems with technology to realize true business value? You can be the bridge between technology and business!

As an AI Customer Success Engineer, you will embed yourself with business users to deeply understand their workflows and use cases, build automations and agents through no-code development, analyse user feedback, and drive adoption of AI tooling turning untapped potential into real impact. Beyond enablement, you will create the analytical depth behind custom AI solutions by analysing requirements, conducting demos, guiding users through rollout, and managing feedback channels, working alongside Technical Product Managers to deliver measurable value through AI across the organisation.

What You Will Do:

AI Platform Adoption & Enablement; No-Code Development (Primary)

You will sit with business users to deeply understand their workflows and use cases for AI tooling

You will help create and configure agents, apps and automations within AI tooling for and with end-users

You will process and analyse user feedback; surface gaps between user expectations and current capabilities

You will develop onboarding materials and guide users through adoption

You will derive requirements for platform set-up based on user needs

You will oversee support channels, collect and answer user feedback and questions

You’ll turn real business challenges into effective no-code and low-code solutions, taking ideas from concept through to implementation

Use Case Analysis & Requirements Support (Secondary)

You will support requirements analysis for custom AI use cases: elicit, document, and refine functional and non-functional requirements with business stakeholders

You will perform use case scoping and refinement — translate business needs into structured AI solution requirements

You will define measurable KPIs and acceptance criteria for use case delivery

You will conduct demos and feedback calls with business users

What You Bring:

Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Informatics, Industrial Engineering, or Digital Business)
3–5 years of professional experience in customer success engineering, AI/digital solutions consulting, business analysis, or technical product enablement
Extensive hands-on experience building solutions with no-code/low-code AI platforms — creating agents, automations, workflows, and apps using LLM-based assistants, agent frameworks, and prompt engineering. Able to independently deliver AI-powered solutions without custom development.
Demonstrated ability to work across diverse business domains (e.g., manufacturing, engineering services, finance, HR, supply chain) and quickly understand domain-specific processes, terminology, and pain points.
Strong understanding of how enterprise systems connect — APIs, integrations, data flows, and SaaS architectures. Able to assess how AI tools fit into existing system landscapes and identify integration requirements.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to present complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences, facilitate workshops, run demos, and build trusted relationships with business stakeholders at all levels.
Proven ability to elicit, document, analyse, and validate business and technical requirements (e.g., user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows) through stakeholder interviews and hands-on observation.
Natural ability to sit with end-users, understand their real-world challenges, and translate messy problems into structured use cases and actionable solutions.
Ability to evaluate AI use cases for feasibility, business value, and priority — and identify when a use case requires custom development versus no-code implementation.
Experience driving enterprise tool rollouts, user adoption programs, and change management — including onboarding, training, feedback loops, and continuous improvement.
Ability to produce clear requirement documents, process maps, user guides, and portfolio overviews.

Why You Stand Out :

Agile Familiarity: Comfortable working in sprint-based delivery, writing PBIs/features, and collaborating closely with development teams

Background in manufacturing, engineering services, or B2B technology companies

Familiarity with AWS services and AI governance frameworks

Scrum, or Product Owner certification

What's In It For You:

Growth-oriented company with a focus on your development journey through regular feedback and discussions
Open and welcoming corporate culture globally
Extensive e-learning platform with 300+ training courses and on-site sessions, including internal leadership training
Onsite car parking, bicycle storage, and convenient public transport links
Newly built canteen with free hot drinks
Employee Discount scheme with savings across thousands of UK retailers
Employee wellbeing culture with mental health support, wellbeing portal, and psychologist assistance
Monetary-based Reward Schemes for recognition, referrals, anniversaries, and life events
37.5 hours per week, permanent contract
25 days holiday entitlement plus Bank Holidays, increasing with length of service.
Life insurance policy for eligible employees – 4 x base salary

What to expect in the hiring process

Alignment call

Kick-off with an initial screening with one Talent Acquisition Partners, not really an interview, but the chance to learn more about how we do things, our process and a chance for you to ask all the things you want to know

Interview

A deeper dive into the role, what we're looking for the hiring manager and you to get to know one another

Further interviews

We always try to streamline our recruitment process as much as possible but may sometimes need to carry out further interviews. This may be to meet other members of the team or more senior employees. It may also be an opportunity to see the site or working area
